as mentioned, the modding continues...
got a set of gauges for the pod, and of course it was a mechanical oil pressure, so off came the idi cover... and this is how it is now...
used the grinder to shave the lettering down, then worked my way up to 2000grit... primered with high temp engine paint, followed by the gloss black engine paint... this is how it turned out... it's not perfect, but neither is the car!!! after all, it is the winter beater

oil pressure gauge is up and running, water temp is just a dummy gauge... got all 3 gauges for $20 with an extra pod (kijiji is awesome!! already sold the pod) and the sensor on the water gauge was missing... not too worried about it, contemplating another gauge later on... for now it fills the hole!! the volt gauge and lighting are wired, just need to pull the radio and splice some wires... having only 1 day a week off is kinda hard to get anything done... mostly wanna spend time with the kids and wife! I am hoping to get around to it this weekend, if I remember I will take some more pictures of the wiring to help out

lol... i wondered when you might see that crappy hack job!!... lol... the car looked pretty much like swiss cheese when i got it for a bottle of tequila... i figured if i could get it running, i would patch the holes (quite horribly i might add) i would drive it for the winter until it completely dies... i had absolutely no clue on how to do the body work, but wanted this car to be fixed by me... so i cut out the old rust and patched in the gutter mesh with bondo on top... when it falls apart again, i will see about trying to fix it properly, but until it goes, i will leave it as is... there are no more visible holes and it passed the safety!!

well, quick update on this car... it got a new set of wheels thanks to Paul's purchase of new wheels for his car...
also went back to the clear corners, instead of the black bezels with orange reflector...
here is a quick picture, dirty, dusty and rusty, but the wheels look nice!!
